Things in the Local Paper That Makes Me Laugh

Posted on the 05 February 2011 by Bazkarim @BazKarim
As usual i wake up in the afternoon make myself a cup of hot nescafe (gold roast) coffee and turn on the ol' laptop.
The daily pages i visit:
  • My twitter account.
  • Brunei Times (local publication): http://www.bt.com.bn/
  • Ranoadidas (popular blog in Brunei about local events...etc) : http://www.ranoadidas.com/
  • facebook? NOT ANYMORE
thats about it....i dont really have anymore sites i visit. Does the reader have anything to suggest to me?
So i was int he BT site today and noticed a really unflattering picture of Brunei's Queen on for the headline. I eman we all know shes aging but this picture was redonkulous.Brunei times....what were u thinking?With the help of google i found a nice FLATTERING picture of Her Majesty :)




Her Majesty on the far left.Do you see the diff. I felt sorry for her :(
*I just hope the format and design of my blog doesnt misplace the pictures and captions underneath.


One last thing i found ont he Brunei times was this picture.Ok so this picture cracked me up because of the headline it was given and the first sentence of the article.Headline:

'Cruise tourist arrivals rising'

First sentence:"FOREIGN tourist arrivals via cruise liners soared over five years and the numbers are expected to record a steep increase this year."The crack up:'number of tourist visiting the country has soared'....yet the picture only shows 2 individuals (not including the man walking back into the ship). I mean its as if we've never had tourist b4 and BT shows us only 2 tourist getting off a cruise ship. i mean.....wow. They could have gotten a better picture. they could have taken a picture of a group of tourists....the whole ship of tourist... a 'visitors book' thats been filled up maybe?....no?Well i guess 2 is the most we've had then. I mean if i were to assume from the picture BT has displayed in their website. yay us!
